anybody on the east coast go as far inland as you can

What's wrong with canals?

I think we are still in for big winds (90 mph especially in high rises). and rain, but it appears it is gonna hit land around Atlantic city and not New York City .... So we will not have the fearsome direct hit. Let ya know tomorrow.

whats wrong with subways?cause the new york one is completely flooded ,the streets are flooded,no power no transport, a building fell down and half a sky scraper is dangling above the city..yeah thats not bad at all

Are you here in the city?
Everything around us is much worse than us!! (Yeah the subways got flooded - they'll get pumped out)

Considering what could have happened ,,,,, could have been a hell of a lot worse in the city. There is no sky scraper dangling... There is a building crane dangling. We have had these types of problems without storms. And yeah, one four story building lost it's front wall (kind of like a dollhouse). These things happen periodically in old buildings. Again for us (in the city) it could have been so much worse, it just wasn't. Now the surrounding areas....that's an entirely different story....

Hope everyone is okay!

Glad to hear that you are OK worldcitizen1723

What a massive bit a craziness this storm's been.

Thanks


Well there are two distinct experiences in the city. 1/3 of the city is without electricity due to a transformer fire. High rises and all. They will not be back until maybe Friday. That is rough...we are very lucky just 13 blocks away. Subways are expected back on track in about 5 days.

Still New Jersey, Staten Island and the coastlines were devastated....
